University of Wisconsin-Madison officials recently announced that they will not change student identification cards, also known as Wiscards, to be compliant with state voter ID laws. This means that in order to cast a ballot on election day, students who are not Wisconsin residents will have to go to Union South to obtain a separate voter ID. The university has said it will take steps to expand access by offering students a free voter ID card when they obtain their Wiscard, and by continuing a campus-wide effort to publicize the availability of these cards.
